Hi All,
It’s always difficult to say goodbye. Thanks once again for making this trip to Ghana a special one! We were accompanied to the airport by Mr. Mark Dedzoe, Mr. Ernest Bobonu, Mr. Victor Gbewordo and Dr. Henry Kpeli.
We appreciate you and all the hours you spent driving us around and helping us get the best bargains at the Art Center. The Shea butter experience and visit to the markets were spectacular! Looks like we have new converts in Dr. Zak and Dr. Seth to the wonders of the use of pure Shea butter!
Thsnk you, Auntie Grace, for the delicious cuisine every day! Every meal was delicious!
We say bye for now at the airport!

Dear All,
We were a 13-member team and at this time, seven (7) of us are heading back to the United States today, Friday, February 20, 2026.
We are happy to note that the IHDN Health & Development High School Enrichment Program was a successful as well the biomedical training sessions. During our time there, the medical staff saw
1500 patients. This year more patients came from out of town, some as far as the capital, Accra.
The hospital staff is experiencing a stagnant growth right now. We have increased our staff but not enough to offset the work-load, which have increased exponentially.

We were able to finish the windows at the Women & Children Wards in Wagbato. We plan to open the wards by the end of the year. It was fun spending time with the elementary students as they eat a delicious lunch of chicken and rice, a rare treat.
We plan to start seeing patients by the end of the year, once we get a committed Midwife to run the wards.

We were audited during our time in Ghana. E.P. Church International Mission Hospital. Then on Wednesday, we received great news: “Congratulations for being the 3rd best institution clinically in the municipal area and best hospital among the 25 hospitals in the Ketu North district.”
We’ll like to congratulate our hard-working, dedicated staff for the wonderful work that they are doing to make our patients live longer in this community. May their service be as unto the good Lord.

Yesterday,our team had a wonderful trip to the Aburi Gardens. We had a fantastic time being guided by Mr. Paul Nabil. (Please keep an eye out for my blog on my trip to Aburi Gardens).
It is now 5:30 pm, Ghana time. We just had a delicious meal, served by Auntie Grace. We’re heading out to the Kotoka International Airport, Accra, Ghana bound for Amsterdam and then to Chicago, IL tomorrow, by God’s grace!
Thank you all for taking the ride on this journey. Your prayers are always needed! I’ll keep you posted!

Sincerely,

Happy Valentine’s Day to All!
Cudos to our wonderful E. P. C International Mission Hospital staff for taking time to care for our local students!

Dear All,
Please continue to pray for the IHDN 47th Mission team as they wind down their trip in Ghana.
On February 11, 2026, the first team member to depart, is our daughter, Dr. Alikem Miriam Agamah, who completed her 11-day mission trip to Ghana. She served well by interpreting X-Ray and ultrasound slides of patients. This determined what further steps needed to treat patients effectively. Among other activities, she enjoyed working with Mr. Paul Worla, Radiographer, Dr. Henry Kpeli and the medical staff. We thank her for her service and wish her safe journey back to Indianapolis, IN.

We hosted an important dinner meeting later that Wednesday evening in Accra with members of the PAACs group and local Ghanaian Surgeons, seeking to collaborate with them to streamline further expansion/development of surgical procedures done at the E.P.C.International Mission Hospital in the near future.

On Thursday, February 12, the rest of our team accompanied by two members of the PAACS team went back to Agbozume/Weta, to tour the hospital facilities and meet some of the staff.

Meanwhile, the second group, (5 members), led by Mr. Noble Adigbli (Moody Church) are preparing to leave for the United States on Friday, February 13th, on the same flight as The 2 PAACS team members, also headed for the United States. We(The SIU medical student and Interns , Mr. Jim Loeffler, Dr Agamah, Dr. Toya and me) are holding the fort here at the Hospital. Things are getting very quiet around here. We miss the others’ loud banter and funny tales. Life in Agbozume, will be a bit less rowdy for sure without our brothers and sisters!

Please pray for traveling mercies for everyone involved. Pray for patients who were operated on, that they will heal without complications. Pray for the staff as they work tirelessly day and night to provide necessary care and to save lives. For example, there are a number of emergency admissions due to motorcycle accidents on the main roads. Sometimes patients may elect to transition because they cannot afford to continue treatment elsewhere. May the good Lord continue to be among us as we seek to do our best under the circumstances! Amen.
